PentaxK2000Competitors

As well as being compared against other entry-level DSLRs, the Pentax K2000 is also often compared to pro DSLRs, mirrorless and super zooms. The Pentax K2000's top rivals come from Pentax (such as the K-x and the K-r) and Nikon (such as the D7200 and the D5200)

However, on average it is much more noisy at high ISO (513 ISO vs 2,956 ISO), has much lower image quality (64.0 vs 93.0), doesn't record movies (none vs 1080p @ 60fps), has much less color depth (22.4 bits vs 24.8 bits) and has much narrower dynamic range (11.4 EV vs 14.5 EV).

Generally, some of the advantages of the Pentax K2000 compared to mirrorless interchangeable-lens competitors include: it has higher quality type of viewfinder (pentamirror vs digital), much more lenses available (113 lenses vs 13 lenses) and has a built-in focus motor.

common strengths of the M3 and K2000

Generally, some of the advantages of the Pentax K2000 compared to super zoom competitors include: it has interchangeable lenses, has higher quality type of viewfinder (pentamirror vs digital), supports an external flash, has a faster max shutter speed (1/4000 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second) and slightly longer exposures (30 seconds vs 8 seconds).

However, on average it has a much smaller screen (2.7" vs 3"), much less viewfinder coverage (96% vs 97%), is older (september 2008 vs february 2011), is slightly heavier (590 g vs 337 g) and doesn't let you preview your photos on the screen.
